    my car is a 99 GTP bone stock, i know what i have right now is 7mm and MSD makes a 8.5mm wire but its 3 times the cost is it worth it to get a thicker wire?

    Stock Delco wires are hands down the best wires to run of these cars. Never buy MSD or ZZP wires.

    Buy the local parts store brand with the lifetime warranty. Seriously.

    I have heard good things about OEM replacements. Prj's seem to be the best "upgrade". Zzp wires are known to cause misfires at higher rpms. But I have been told they corrected that problem with their newest versions.

    I wouldn't even trust a ZZP wire if it was between my mouse and computer.

    LOL.. For the price since the local parts store no longer stocks AC Delco lifers...I usually get Autolite Pro lifers.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I bought the new ZZP ones on black Friday, I returned them that Monday. Garbage is a nice word to describe them. Best ones so far are the PRJ
